None. Zero. I also do not match the stereotype of the "cool" fly fisher which has developed over the last decade or so; dope-smoking, dreadlocked, million dollars of gear with no apparent means of support, doing it because it is the fad thing to do. I really like to be out fishing and catching fish. I fly fish because SOMETIMES it is the method which makes the most sense and is the most enjoyable, and the most effective. Other times, not at all and I'll be using other tackle. There are snobs and @$$holes in every segment of the fishing world, but I do agree lots and lots of fly fishermen have worked tirelessly to foster the "I'm better than you" BS aura.
To the simpleton, proof does not matter once emotion takes hold of an issue.
